Information Literacy—Need for an Urgent Action in India: A Strategic Approach
Abstract
The paper discusses lagging behind of the developing countries (with special reference to India) in taking initiatives and carrying out projects for developing, promoting and implementing information literacy (IL) education and training programmes and projects. Pointing to the IL situation in both academic and corporate context as well as in the context of business and management education, it emphasises that without a push of external help through financial aid and professional expertise. India would not be able to properly address, both the IL issue and the prerequisite issues of upgrading and developing
their information and information systems infrastructure. It proposes strategy for addressing the IL issues which would help individual institutions to intensify and broaden their existing activities in the field of IL promotion and implementation and start new ones wherever necessary.
